The last class I attended at SENZ 2012 was with the infamous Miss Betty from Timaru's Artfull Crafts. Although they sell all manner of paper craft goods, they seem to specialize in Kaisercraft products. You can often find Miss Betty's cards in the free Kaisercraft magazine that comes out regularly. Artfull Crafts also sell Miss Betty Card kits, which comes with photo instructions, papers (incl. cardstock), rub ons, stickers and a few embellishments - I paid around $40 for each of my kits. You get enough product for the 6 cards in the kit and have enough left over to make probably 10 more. Awesome!
So it is no surprise that our class was based using Kaisercraft papers. In this instance, our paper and embellishments came from the 'Attitude' collection. It really is all about boys with earthy colors, graffiti, camo, stencil and metal plate patterns.

| Most collections have sheets like these! They are great for any aspect of scrapbooking, and can be used to make mini journal pages or embellishing cards. This particular sheet has 12 ATC card sizes on one side and 4 larger ones on the reverse side |
This is the first time that I used the paper pads and the pre made accessories in this way. I had never really been interested in using these and this class has inspired me to reconsider it.
We were given enough product to make much more than the six cards shared in the class. Here are a couple of the more interesting cards we made that day:
The Step Card
This is my favorite card, because it really has a 3 dimensional feel on different levels. And it is simple to make.
In this class we utilized corrugated board, cut out, stripped off the top layer and dabbed over some distress ink.
The rest of the card was simple to make. We just added complimentary backgrounds and used the pre made embellishments to give it that wow factor.
I have created a template for you to use with both metric and imperial measurements. Just click on this link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/102054726
The Centre Step Card
This card is a little more complicated to do but the end effect is worth it. Once you've done it a couple of times, it definitely gets easier.
Although its not easy to see in the photo, we also used an acetate sheet from the same collection.
